After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of the downcast son

Chapter 119 Kill corrupt officials if they lack money

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

As soon as Master Zhou entered the door, he said: "Does your Majesty have a plan for Yicheng?"

"Teacher..." The emperor knew that his inaction in the court would inevitably lead to the questioning of his old master.

"I have resigned from the post of Imperial Master for many years. Your Majesty, it would be better to call...the veteran by his first name." The words came to Old Master Zhou's lips, but he discovered that after he resigned from the post of Imperial Master, he could not be addressed by anything other than his first name.

"Teacher, what are you doing... I just want to see how far they can go, and also want to see how much conscience they have left." As the emperor said this, he handed over the memorial that Zhou Changbai had rushed back from Qianli.

Old Imperial Master.

"In addition to asking for medical treatment and medicine for Yicheng, Master Zhou also sent a message that was sent thousands of miles away. You will understand after reading it."

He added: "The epidemic in Yicheng is still relatively stable now. All sick people have been isolated and centralized for treatment. Even if there are still new cases, they are admitted as soon as possible.

Lord Zhou, everything went smoothly, and all the people he brought there were put to use. Some of them were responsible for distributing food and porridge, resettling the affected people, urging them to rebuild their houses, and clearing their fields. Some of them cooperated with the Yicheng government office to control the epidemic areas.

, to treat people with new illnesses.

Everything is in perfect order.

I believe that although history repeats itself, tragedies will not repeat themselves.

I have confidence, and I ask the teacher to trust me."

Master Zhou fell silent after reading the excerpt written by his eldest son from beginning to end.

No one in the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty was completely clean, but most of them were corrupt and corrupt. They took what they could and took nothing from what they couldn't. Although some people went too far, he never thought that they would spend nothing but corruption.

What could he say, kill them all as a warning? When the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, he told the emperor that a greedy and capable official is a hundred times better than an incompetent mediocre person.

It was also he who told the emperor that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and those who must be retained in the court must be tolerant and inclusive.

"Teacher, once the disaster relief money and food are released, the treasury will run out of money. The remaining money will have to be used to purchase medicinal materials, and my treasury will be empty." The emperor looked sad.

Master Zhou was also sighing. The national treasury has been low in recent years, but he didn't know that it was so poor. A flood emptied the national treasury.

No wonder Mr. Qin from the Ministry of Household Affairs held his money bag tightly as if to guard against thieves. He would cry as soon as money was touched for big or small things.

If it were him, he would have to cover it tightly.

"Since the collapse of the Yihe River embankment was caused by corruption, let's thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the money in the Yihe River Embankment. If there are not a few corrupt people, the national treasury will have money." The old imperial master Zhou said angrily: "Don't kill anyone.

To combat this trend of corruption, some people will always be greedy and try to swallow the elephant."

There is a visible smile on the emperor's face. The old master's idea is really... very much to my liking.

But then he couldn't help but lament that it was difficult for a majestic king to rely on killing corrupt officials to fill the treasury.

The old imperial master went ahead, and the emperor sent someone to go to the Martial Arts Department to announce his congratulations to the North Courtyard.

"Your Majesty, Prince He has arrived." The chamberlain outside the royal study bowed and went inside to report.

"Xuan."

After the announcement, He Beiting walked in with his head held high and his chest high.

"I congratulate you on seeing you in Beiting!"

The emperor said: "He Beiting, I want you to set off for Yicheng immediately. You need to ask for medical treatment yourself, and you need to buy medicine along the way. Are you qualified?"

"I am determined to go all out."

"If you encounter any obstacles, shoot and kill!" the emperor said, throwing a token to He Beiting.

"My lord, take your orders!"

Corrupt officials in the court must be killed, and big local households must also be eaten. Otherwise, wouldn’t the money from the treasury have to go in with the left hand and go out with the right?

Zhou Family, Zuiyue Hall.

Is the emperor going to abandon Yicheng?

What about the people in Yicheng? And how will her father come back?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Sining couldn't sit still. As soon as he heard that the old imperial master had returned home, he immediately went to Zuiyue Hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Grandpa, is the emperor going to abandon Yicheng?"

Huh? Master Zhou asked, "Why do you say this?"

Zhou Sining said: "My granddaughter has heard about the matter in Yicheng and the matter discussed at court today. The emperor has turned his back on it, so how can things go well with my father?"

Master Zhou glanced at Zhou Sining and said: "You have a good ear, but you are wrong. The emperor did not ignore it and will not ignore it.

Besides, everything in Yicheng is going smoothly, your father has handled it well, and it is relatively stable now."

Huh? This situation...

Zhou Sining frowned and looked at Master Zhou. She didn't believe that her grandfather didn't know what happened in the court, but something was wrong with the situation now.

"Grandpa, but the emperor has other plans?"

Master Zhou had a smile on his face and said that his granddaughter had always been smart, and as expected, he figured out the key point with just a few words from him.

"Well, don't worry." The old master didn't say the specific reason, but he also gave Zhou Sining a reassuring pill to let her go back and wait for news.

Zhou Sining's heart was still a little unsettled, and he returned to Chunwu Hospital, still muttering: "There is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine in Yicheng, how can father solve it on his own..."

Just then, He Beiting arrived.

As soon as He Beiting entered the room, he said: "I'm here to say goodbye and leave immediately."

Zhou Sining said intuitively: "Huh? Say goodbye? Where are you going?"

"Yicheng."

"Yicheng?" Zhou Sining was horrified, and his voice became sharper unconsciously.

"What are you doing in Yicheng?"

My father was already stuck in Yicheng and had no way to return. Why would he want to go there again?

It's not that she doesn't have great righteousness in her heart. No matter how righteous she is, she can't just harm her relatives.

My father was ordered to provide disaster relief, and when an epidemic happened, he had to deal with it before he could return. This is the duty of a court official, and it is also the foundation of being a human being.

But He Beiting was different. He had only been in the court for half a year, and no matter how unavailable he was in the court, it was not his turn to deal with matters in Yicheng.

unless……

He Beiting said: "I will deliver medicine and help Mr. Zhou maintain stability at the same time."

"Why are you going? There are so many people in the court." Zhou Sining took a step forward, grabbed He Beiting's arm and said: "Father is already trapped there. There is no way back, you can't..."

"Tangtang..."

Listening to He Beiting's "Tangtang", Zhou Sining trembled physically and mentally. He had known her nickname as "Tangtang" since he was a child, but this was the first time in his two lives that he called her that way.

Still choosing such a moment, she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Tangtang, it's hard to disobey the sacred command! Besides, I am more suitable than anyone else.

You don’t have to worry, Yicheng is operating in an orderly manner, and as long as there are sufficient medicines, it is not impossible to defeat the epidemic."

If he goes, he will be able to cooperate with Mr. Zhou and not let anyone interfere with him. This is one of the reasons why he agreed without hesitation when the emperor mentioned it.

Zhou Sining understood what He Beiting meant, and his heart ached.

"Didn't you say there was no medical treatment? What did you send me there?"

"The Imperial Hospital assigned ten imperial doctors to take Yin on the road, asking for medical advice and buying medicine along the way."

The reason why He Beiting was chosen was because the emperor knew that only if he went there, all the money spent on buying medicinal materials could be spent in Yicheng.
